Hello, Kraftie Friends!

I made a few cards using watercolor paints...the first 2 are for a technique challenge - CAS Mix Up: Printmaking with Die Cuts - where you basically watercolor your die cuts on watercolor paper and/or press the die cuts on the paper after colored, and incorporate the die cuts + stenciled/printed paper into your card design. 

Card #1 was done wet-on-wet and Card #2 panel shows the printed die cuts...dies are Spellbinders and Sizzix, stamp is CTMH.

Hello, Kraftie Friends!

I used the same stamps from Happiness Never Grows Old stamp set to create these 2 cards:

Hello, Kraftie Friends!

Hello, Kraftie Friends!

If you came from Club Scrap's Blog (Karen's Post), you're in the right place!

First, I have a couple of cards, using Cherry Blossoms Digital Kit and paper from Cherry Blossoms Deluxe Kit:


I printed the patterned papers, sentiments and digi stamps.
I distressed the edges of the printed panel and printed sentiment, added some sequined embroidery thread on the right side of the panel and adhered them to card.
I cut out the flowers, colored them with alcohol-based markers and adhered them on card.
I was going to add Dimensional Magic on the flowers, and once I did on one, I thought it was smudging the image, so I stopped there.
I also adhered a Cherry Blossoms Fan Charm on the right bottom side.

For the inside of the card, I just trimmed a printed paper, adhered it and added the trimmed sentiment:


The second card is a variation on a Gate Fold Card with a belly band:


For the belly band, I used a printed border and a cut out flower.
Then, I cut out the prints I wanted to use and adhered them on the card:

I also decorated the inside...I used a brown gel pen to draw strings on the lanterns, trimmed a printed paper, adhered it and added the trimmed sentiment:


And last, but not the least, I made a scrapbook page...a simple one, since I don't like to cover the designs of pretty papers:


I used a Cherry Blossoms Embellishment Cutapart with distressed edges on the top and adhered some layered photo mats.
I added little details like Cherry Blossoms Embellishment Pack Flower Sequins and Cherry Blossoms Embellishment White Micro Brads in the flowers' centers:


I also added some Blossom Stickers on flowers' centers and other spots.
I like that red photo mat...it's kinda shiny! =)
Finally, I added some gold (CTMH) and foam (American Crafts) stickers.
